Phil Lynott passed away in the hospital I was born in :(
R.I.P. Phil
Heh, he also really good to a friend of mine (a real big Lizzy fan) who was hospitalised (and couldn't go to a Lizzy gig), not only did he visit when he was ill. But every time Lizzy was in town tickets and backstage passes turned up, and every now and again he was invited down to Dublin.
He was also very supportive of Sweet Savage (more local lads) which was the band that gave the world Vivian Campbell
Not only was Mr Lynott a great front man, musician and song writer, he was a damn fine person too.
A sad waste of a talented person due to drugs (and alcohol)
